Over the weekend I finally found the right combination of time & motivation to pick up a paintbrush & finish off this little chap, who’s been languishing on my painting stand for several months, & I thought I’d share the results.
He’s a test figure to make sure my colours, techniques, etc will work for the Special Duties Detachment of the Royal Sussex Regt that I’ve got planned. Overall I’m quite happy with how he’s turned out (the face needs a bit of tidying up methinks, this extreme close-up isn’t overly flattering). However, I’m not sure if the Blue (trousers, helmet, etc) is a bit too light. Should I try to make it a darker shade of navy? (Any other hints, tips or suggestions will also be gratefully received.)
